Rolling Acres Farm is a well-established, family-run Hunter/Jumper boarding facility located in Montgomery County, Maryland.  Our staff has over 40 years' experience in the care and handling of horses.


Rolling Acres is a historic, 200-acre farm located in Montgomery County, Maryland.  The farm was an original land grant from Lord Baltimore to the Gaither family.  Samuel & Janice Nicholson, owners of Rolling Acres, purchased the farm in 1972.  The farm currently has 3 generations of the Nicholson family actively participating in the farm. 
The Boarding operation consists of one 31-stall barn attached to a 80’ x 150’ indoor arena.  The second barn is a historic bank barn converted to 32 stalls.  Horses are turned out every day, weather permitting, in 22 paddocks.  Rolling Acres Farm produces all the hay used to feed the horses.  Our staff lives on site to allow for the most secure environment for the horses.  Rolling Acres is located next to State parkland and many trails lead through the farm and into the surrounding area.
